The sequence can be re-sampled to form a suitable input vector for an artificial neural network (ANN). Three different ANN topologies have been implemented: the multilayer perceptron, a learning vector quantisation network and hybrid self organising map. This method of representing industrial components has been used to compare the ANN architectures when implemented as classifiers based on shape and dimensional tolerance. A number of shortcomings with this methodology have been highlighted; most importantly the identification of a unique sequence start point, vital for rotation invariance. Another problem may arise due to the conflict between the inherent robustness of ANNs when dealing with noise, and classifying components which are similar but display subtle dimensional differences.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":150477,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems.","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116803391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are at least four levels of knowledge representation: (i) linguistic, (ii) meta-linguistic, (iii) propositional, and (iv) computational. There are three transformations, which depend on the particular interpretations put on a knowledge representation schema. There are various choices, corresponding to one's interpretation of: (a) type of set representation, (fuzzy or crisp), (b) type of propositional connectives and normal forms, and (c) type of computational connectives, i.e., weak or strong t-norms and co-norms. In the light of these selections, fuzzy disjunctive and conjunctive normal forms (FDNF, FCNF) are derived from fuzzy truth tables. It is shown that classical expressions such as excluded middle etc., when fuzzified, ought to be reinterpreted with a type II, second order, semantic uncertainty. The classical expressions should not be interpreted as to whether they are valid or not. One can only state that the well-known tautologies of classical logic are valid to many degrees specified by an interval defined by their FDNF and FCNF. FDNF and FCNF boundaries identify the nonspecificity measure associated with type II, second order, semantic uncertainty. Thus, those researchers who are not familiar or who are not concerned with type II semantic uncertainty work with a myopic understanding of fuzzy set and logic theories.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":150477,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems.","volume":"479 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120879674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The net model is used as the common formalism to support the integration of different ways of modelling discrete event system control targeted for real time operation. The goal is to integrate, in a common specification, fuzzy control and other forms of rule based approximate reasoning, with other common methodologies to specify discrete event system control, like state machines and concurrent systems. Support for networking is presented. It is important for the effective use of the proposed net model to specify control for a network of controller or to communicate with higher level systems, namely process controllers and monitoring and supervisory stations.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":150477,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130067205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In some cases, possibilities have been considered as approximations of plausibility measures. This approximation exchanges exactness of plausibility values for the simplicity of use of possibility values. In this paper, a different direction is followed. Possibility measures are considered as the supremum of a family of likelihood functions. This is an exact interpretation, not an approximation. The minimum rule to combine possibility distributions is justified in this framework under general conditions. Conditions under which other rules can be applied are also studied.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":150477,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems.","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121107266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
